hawkeye_wx Posted yesterday at 01:25 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:25 PM Today's event turned into nothing. A disturbance is moving across Iowa, but the timing is poor. We got a brief light shower this morning and that should be all we get. The weekend is the next chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted yesterday at 01:28 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:28 PM Morning rain, over an inch since yesterday, the garden will be happy. Temperatures are going to be 25-30 degrees cooler over a 24hr period here this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted yesterday at 02:26 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:26 PM 1.92" at the TH co-op. CoCoRahs in town showing 2.85" n 2.55", so within a mile of each other some decent differences. ENE low level flow really helped with the lifting along the ridge, then it spread out around my area. Kept it raining really well. Really needed this, as we have been falling behind in precip. Rain returned this morning. Been steady with temps cast to be around 60. Could see another inch. Very cool, wet day. Feels like Fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the lake will induce hypothermia. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted yesterday at 04:46 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:46 PM Got lucky with one small but very precip efficient lake breeze shower. 0.3” and counting in 8 minutes. If only it could last an hour or more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago This is now the 8th overcast/rainy Thurs morning in a row (during the clearest months, during a hot/slightly drier regime). I'd love to know what the statistical odds of this are but my local historical data sucks plus I wouldn't ken how to go bout figuring it. I assumed around 20% of such a morning - when stacked for 7 in a row it was at 0.013%!! Now at 0.0026%... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Seems like there's a pop up around here every day. Another one this morning, just popped up and dropped another quarter of an inch. I'm at 27 inches or so since 3/1 in my gauge. With models toying around with anywhere from 2-5in's in the next 10 days or so I could be over 30 inches of non tropical storm rain by the end of July. That's getting close to a years worth of liquid. Crops are definitely having their usual effect on low level humidity levels keeping dews in the 70-80% range. These night time dews in the 80% range can be suffocating even with overnight lows in the upper 60's to 70. Your body has nowhere to transfer the heat except a sweat rag lol. It's also hard on these crops. Mold issues are exploding. Field sprayers have been out in force trying to rescue a severely shunted soybean crop around here this year. Could get our first real shot at some swamp weather coming North next week. Models are really trying to roll in some South Calalacky crap next week with 90's, rain. and dews approaching 90% at night. Yeah, that's why they OD on Ice Tea down there, and beer lol. This has been one of the most humid, damp, muggy summers I've experienced since I moved back so far.

Brian D Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Another 1/2" or so around my area. A good 2-3" of rain the last couple days. That puts us near avg for the monthly total at the co-op site. More rain expected tomorrow (about 1/2" possible). Might see some 80's next week here in town. Until then 65-75 temps in store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
